I see people trading HONOR on global is this the plan for it ? I personally only give HONOR to my guild members . I would much rather see a guild member receive a new pet than someone i dont even know . Whats your thoughts on this ?

The devs were specifically asked about honor funneling through multiple alt accounts and honor brokering on global, they replied that they are seeing the honor system used exactly in the way intended and meeting all expectations. So I guess you are free to do whatever you want, your creativity is the limit.
My thoughts 
you get to know more people in global and become versatile. See and speak with different people with different mentality. Me not socialising and interacting with global and just with my guild itās like I talk to only the people I live with and ignore my neighbors and people around my city
Until you hit revered status then itās back to ignoring global completely again.

It just feels fake to me. Your unlikely to learn much about player mindset during the incessant trading frenzy that global has become. ALT accounts set up to add further fake honour just falsify the whole concept all the more. If this is working as intended according to the devs, then I find their reasoning discombobulating. Pure fakery in most cases and chat is ruined. I believe honour was introduced to increase global communications and attendance. In my eyes it has done the opposite; less banter and thus more reason to give it a miss. Recruiting is worse than ever on account of trade spam. Honour should only be available to and from players you have fought; not from clicking āxā on someone in chat, global or otherwise. Give honour rank some credibility.

It means people are using chat, which was the goal of the update. Now when the boss man asks, āWhy do you spend so much time on chat? Why donāt you just let players use Discord and the Forums?ā, the devs can point out āthereās thousands of participating players daily!ā and the boss manās satisfied. Boss man doesnāt play GoW. He just wants to see numbers.
Ooh i get it now it has nothing to do with the people that support and play the game . Wow that SUCKāS !!! So its gonna be the same with forum activity then , just for Good numbers . Understood ,loud and clear ! Politics over principalās !
I mean I can try and clean up my mess but hereās how it goes.
GoW is a lot of things. Itās not just a match-3 game. Some people like some modes, nobody likes all modes. Chat is a mode.
Iām a person who has no use for chat. My signal at work is so bad sometimes I canāt even check tribute. I canāt have a game open at my desk all day. But I can hang out in some Discords that are just-work-related-enough to keep that open. When I get home, I want to play GoW, not chat. I can keep up with Discord while playing, I canāt keep up with chat. So I will forever find chat completely useless and resent any effort spent on improving it.
But it was also in terrible shape until this update. It barely worked. Thatās what happens when you write your own chat client instead of using one of dozens that have existed for more than 30 years. To the people that like to use GoW as an IM client instead of a game, that was a big deal. Theyāre pretty happy with how itās turned out. And there are probably people who didnāt like chat before and like it now.
No updateās going to be a win-win. This one was useless to me. Iām pretty convinced a big reason for honor to exist was to get people more involved in chat. The devs figured out the non-chat ways people would game it.
Sadly, they didnāt add the one thing to chat that it needs: moderators. Imagine a chat where begging gets you a 24-hour ban plus a -50 honor penalty. You wouldnāt see begging there, would you? But alas, a big portion of the game is active when the dev teamās asleep. And all weekend is a no-mod-zone. It seems they were so focused on making sure people didnāt abuse honor outside of chat, they forgot chat would be the most disruptive place to abuse it.

Well, Iām that opposite end of the spectrum; sometimes the only thing I did in a day in GoW is chat and most of it is in global and guild chat.
I donāt particularly want more oversight. Our resident warden and the report button are plenty enough for me.
I still donāt care if people beg or trade honor. Or if guilds inbreed it all over the place. Those of us who are in 001 all the time have our own ways of dealing with it. Sarcasm, wit, and a sentence or two can work wondersā¦ and when it doesnāt, thereās this neato block button.
And a gem docking and an honor bash for asking for something? Really? That might be the most counter-helpful thing Iāve seen yet. Now that some of the honor traders are getting their gold headband, theyāre paying it forward to those in more casual guilds where itās harder to get it.

Paying it forward? Or paying back old honor debt. If I can trade honor I should be able to loan honor as wellā¦ Right? 
@Lyya I have been Exemplary 3 for 3 weeks now. The RNG Godās do not favor my current title. Please change it to āHonor floor, Honor couch, Honor bedā to clearly demonstrate to others how thereās no right or wrong way to honor someone. 
The only thing I donāt like about the honor system is the fact that not all honor is weighted the same. Itās like giving me currency and telling me the value will be determined depending on how or who I give it to.
I get 2 āmagic beansā a day to give away.
The cynic in me canāt help but wonder how many folks ātrade honorā without having any to actually trade. What are the consequences of lying about it? Enjoy the peace now ladies and gents. This system will only lead to more drama than it could ever of extinguished.

Full and total agreement. Head nodding yes so much that i mightāve popped something.
However, Iām not expecting the drama-fest that you are. Maybe, maybe notā¦ Iāll just wait and see it unfold.

Think about last night in globalā¦ It went from āhow are youā to instant degrading comments. Then I was the bad guy for not Rewarding the shit talk but also not escalating it.
Global has become a weird eco system of Recruiters, beggers, regulars and knowledge seekers. Itās like putting a bar in a library and allowing mall kiosks to sell stuff in it. But now the honor system has made it āladies nightā every night. The thirst is strong.
I myself use global chat,i have since day one . All of the people in my guild came from global chat . Global chat has changed ,this is true . Iāve seen the way it was and the way it is now . The difference from then to present time , is the nastiness has gone way down . Do to ,being able to report a persons behavior . Plus everyone has seen or heard about someone being band from global chat. The funny part ,it still the same people on global chat as before ,just with multiple accounts . So nothing has changed really . I have two and ahalf years being involved with this game . Iāve seen the changes occur as time with game has gone by , but what Didnāt change are the people . Same people just a different front now , everyone is the nice guy , bunch of suck a$$Es looking for honor .

You boys are not taking in consideration that we are a massive mass.
Obviously you going to find scams, alt ,beggars but also people that spend their time grinding and working with their guildys and then you have people that spend more time chatting and socialising n global than playing
I fully understand that , i do . Just dont see any new people . So to say honor was created to stimulate chat in global is wrong . All honor has done ,from what iām seeing . Is create another reason for tension between people . Trading is gonna go south . Can already see people upset with it . Iām unemployed at the moment , this is how i spend my time , all day sometimes . Today turned game on at 7am its 12:40 pm now , iām here seeing it first hand !
